music from the motion picture WAYNE'S WORLD

I've never heard "Ride With Yourself" by Rhino Bucket but that's my vote

if you've seen the movie you've heard it

wait is it that song they all sing along to at the beginning

― da croupier, Monday, 27 February 2012 19:20 (1 year ago) Permalink

you can hear "TAKE A LONG LONG RIDE WITH YOURSELF, DO YA LIKE WHAT YA SEE" in the background when they're driving to Milwaukee

OP: only new/recent recordings are poll options, didn't seem fair to have "Bohemian Rhapsody" or "Foxy Lady" (or "Dream Weaver" heh) as options

― DNRIYHM NATION 1814 (some dude), Monday, 27 February 2012 19:33 (1 year ago) Permalink

i occasionally hear "Feed My Frankenstein" on the radio now and it feels kind of surreal to think of it as an actual song played on hard rock stations and not just some goofy Alice Cooper jam that only exists in Wayne's World world

kinda gets ignored when people talk about the death of pop-metal, cuz it definitely played a part in the defanging

― da croupier, Monday, 27 February 2012 20:25 (1 year ago) Permalink

what other songs didn't make the soundtrack? I remember the sticker on the Ugly Kid Joe CD "includes Everything About You from the movie waynes world" or something

― billstevejim, Monday, 27 February 2012 20:27 (1 year ago) Permalink

yeah one of the things that always amused me about the Wayne's World phenomenon is that when the sketches started you could argue it was a somewhat faithful look at youth culture's tastes at the time but by the time the movie hit theaters they were already an anachronism.

although it's total grunge serendipity that the soundtrack was on Reprise so there's that bonus track by Soundgarden, and in the movie a Temple of the Dog deep cut months before radio discovered "Hunger Strike"

― DNRIYHM NATION 1814 (some dude), Monday, 27 February 2012 20:27 (1 year ago) Permalink

Songs not included on the soundtrack album that feature in the film:

"Everything About You" - Ugly Kid Joe
"All Night Thing" - Temple of the Dog
"Cold Chills" - Kix
"Touch Me" - Tia Carrere (Originally recorded by Private Life. Carrere's version has never been commercially released)

― DNRIYHM NATION 1814 (some dude), Monday, 27 February 2012 20:28 (1 year ago) Permalink

I don't think it was that much of an anachronism, maybe 1993/94

Def Lep and Jovi still had big albums that came out soon after

― Master of Treacle, Monday, 27 February 2012 20:32 (1 year ago) Permalink

big "hello adult contemporary charts" albums

i would like to vote for Wayne singing the line "and her name was Cassandra" but since that is not an option, "Why You Wanna Break My Heart" wins.

― mizzell, Monday, 27 February 2012 20:33 (1 year ago) Permalink

and tbf Adrenalize feels like one hell of an anachronism itself now. Even though pop-metal wasn't really killed dead until kurt was, but little worth remembering came from it from 1991 on.

― da croupier, Monday, 27 February 2012 20:34 (1 year ago) Permalink

some of the first handful of CDs i bought after WW sdtek include Adrenalize and Ten. it was a crazy time.

Last Action Hero soundtrack was a similarly big "rock" soundtrack from a year later, and def showed progression away from pop-metal, although it did include "Two Steps Behind"

― billstevejim, Monday, 27 February 2012 20:37 (1 year ago) Permalink

you can actually trace the transition of rebelosity this way

1991- nevermind/Use Your Illusion I & II
1992 - "hi, axl! hi, axl!"/dolphins
1993 - In Utero/ The Spaghetti Incident?!
1994 - suicide/ "Sympathy With The Devil" on Interview With The Vampire soundtrack

― da croupier, Monday, 27 February 2012 20:39 (1 year ago) Permalink

woops, replace "dolphins" with november rain in 1992, and move dolphins forward. didn't realize how late that video came out!

started a thread for my tangent: In what year did pop-metal "die" in your opinion?

― da croupier, Monday, 27 February 2012 20:47 (1 year ago) Permalink

re: LAH , i think that was more of a sign that pop-metal was dead by the beginning of '93... Beavis & Butthead helped with that as well, debuting in March '93

if everyone would read these lyrics before voting, then feed my frankenstein would win in a landslide:

Well, I ain't evil, I'm just good lookin'
Start a little fire, and baby start cookin'
I'm a hungry man
But I don't want pizza
I'll blow down your house
And then I'm gonna eat ya

Bring you to a simmer
Right on time
Run my greasy fingers
Up your greasy spine

CHORUS
Feed my Frankenstein
Meet my libido
He's a psycho
Feed my Frankenstein
Hungry for love
And it's feeding time

You don't want to talk
So baby shut up
And let me drink the wine from your fur tea cup
Velcro candy, sticky sweet
Make my tattoos melt in the heat
Well, I ain't no veggie
Like my flesh on the bone
Alive and lickin' on your ice cream cone

ahahahah i was just about to chime in, i think i've told ILX this before but I once used "Nirvana supposedly killed off hair metal" in the intro paragraph to a conference paper/talk thing. Always happy to rehash issues of supposed generational shift, father-killing and artificial boundaries between eras, I eat that stuff up.

And much as I rep for early-90s Corporate Rock and all its positive vibes, the winner here is clearly LOUD LOVE. Feed My Frankenstein is good too - - and I never actually knew it wasn't a goofy Wayne's World song and not a real Alice Cooper oldie!
